Definitions
- the folding and glueing device shown overall by 30 and adapted to fold the closure flap 5 and to apply glue to its outer surface is disposed above the conveyor line and is borne by two brackets 11a and 11b of the machine structure.
- the toothed wheel 13 is driven in rotation by a chain 34 which is connected to the transmission system of the conveyor line, in order to cause the rotary members 14 and 18 to rotate in phase relationship with the forward movement of the individual packages 20.

Abstract
Description
- Fig. 1 is a diagrammatic perspective view of the device of the present invention;
- Figs. 2A, 2B, 2C, 2D, 2E and 2F are diagrammatic side views showing, in sequence, the various operating stages of the device of Fig. 1;
- Fig. 3 is a plan view of the blank.
With reference to Figs. 1 and 3, and as is known to persons skilled in the art, each individual blank shown by 10 in Fig. 3 is intended to form the package shown by 20 in Fig. 1.
Claims (8)
- A folding and glueing device for folding and applying glue to the closure flaps (5) of blanks (10) in continuously moving wrap-around sleeve packaging machines using cardboard blanks (10) in which the closure flap (5) is articulated on the rear panel (1) of the package (20) to be formed, in which the individual packages (20), partly formed by erecting the rear panel (1) against the rear portion of the product, are caused to advance in succession downstream one after the other along a conveyor line (6a, 6b, 8a, 8b), characterised in that it comprises:a pair of coaxial (z) and interconnected rotary members (14, 18), positioned individually on each side of the conveyor line (6a, 6b, 8a, 8b), adapted to rotate about a first axis (z) oriented perpendicularly and raised with respect to the conveyor line (6a, 6b, 8a, 8b) and actuated in phase relationship with the forward movement of the partial packages (20) disposed along this conveyor line (6a, 6b, 8a, 8b),at least one driven rotary bar (26), borne in a rotary manner by and between the pair of rotary members (14, 18) in the vicinity of their radial periphery, oriented parallel with respect to this first axis of rotation (z) and adapted to move along a circular path,transmission means (15, 28, 27) adapted to rotate the driven rotary bar (26) in phase relationship with the rotation of the pair of rotary members (14, 18),a closure blade (31) disposed and secured along the driven rotary bar (26),spray glueing means (22), positioned in a fixed manner between the pair of rotary members (14, 18) and disposed in a central zone that does not interfere with the above-mentioned circular path described by the driven rotary bar (26).
- A device as claimed in claim 1, characterised in that the pair of coaxial rotary members (14, 18) are interconnected by a plurality of fixed bars (24, 25) having their opposite ends secured along the radially external periphery of each rotary member (14, 18).
- A device as claimed in claim 1, characterised in that one (18) of the rotary members (14, 18) is borne in a rotary manner by a sleeve (17) extending transversally from one side of the packaging machine towards the interior thereof and within which the cables (36) for the control and supply of the spray glueing means (22) pass.
- A device as claimed in claim 1, characterised in that the nozzles (23) of the spray glueing means (22) are adapted to spray the glue when the plane of the closure flap (5) is disposed perpendicularly to the direction of spray from these nozzles (23).
- A device as claimed in claim 1, characterised in that the rotary bar (26) is driven to rotate about itself by a sprocket (27) keyed thereon and engaged with a chain (28) which is also wound in a closed loop about a toothed wheel (15) borne in a fixed manner on the first axis (z).
- A device as claimed in one of the preceding claims, characterised in that it comprises two brackets (11a, 11b) disposed on each side of the packaging machine, wherein one bracket (11a) bears a hub (12) which extends transversally towards the interior of the packaging machine and bears, in a rotary manner, one rotary member (14) of the pair of rotary members (14, 18) and the other bracket (11b) bears a sleeve (17) which extends transversally towards the interior of the packaging machine and bears, in a rotary manner, the other rotary member (18) of the pair of rotary members (14, 18).
- A device as claimed in claim 6, characterised in that the spray glueing unit (22) is borne (16, 21, 19) by and between the hub (12) and the sleeve (17).
- A device as claimed in one of the preceding claims, characterised in that the closure blade (31) has a toothed profile (32) and in that the spray glueing means (22) are adapted to spray the glue solely in the zones formed between these teeth (32) in order to prevent soiling of the blade (31).
